Grant Proulx of Kanopi explores how the agency helps clients extend website lifespans far beyond the industry average of just over two years. While most sites quickly face obsolescence, Kanopi reports that its projects often remain effective for a decade or more by redefining what "support" means. Instead of limiting support to reactive fixes, the team emphasizes ongoing evaluation, intentional iteration, and holistic growth across design, development, and marketing.

Their approach starts with thorough qualitative and quantitative research, employs senior-level professionals to minimize technical debt, and commits to long-term, proactive support. This includes continuous work on accessibility, SEO, content strategy, conversion optimization, performance, and security. By aligning expectations with clients and fostering collaboration, Kanopi positions website longevity as the result of a mindset rather than a maintenance checklist.
